This two-day course provides a practical hands-on introduction to developing and consuming ASP.NET web API services using C# and Visual Studio 2013. This web development framework from Microsoft makes it easy to create HTTP services that can reach a broad range of clients and is an excellent platform for creating RESTful Web applications. The course is current to .NET Framework 4.5.1 and ASP.NET Web API 2.0/2.1.
Course Duration:
2 Days
